Saracen Foundry[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Saracen Foundry, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. In summary, if an immage is incorrectly inserted, then don't add a pointless explanation as to why it shouldn't be there, just remove it! Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 01:32, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs[edit]
Thank you for your recent articles, including GEORGE (programming language), which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list by clicking the big blue button at WP:DYKNOM. Alternatively you can use the following user script: User:SD0001/DYK-helper. Which can be activated with one click after turning automatic script intallation in your Preferences->Gadgets (check the "Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files" option and save page; then visit the DYK-helper page and click install; then go to your new article and you'll find the new DYK menu). Let me know if you need help, ~~~~
WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages[edit]
Thank you for your recent articles, including GEORGE (programming language), which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You can also use a friendly script for that. Which can be activated with one click after turning automatic script intallation in your Preferences->Gadgets (check the "Install scripts without having to manually edit JavaScript files" option and save page; then visit the script page and click install; then go to your new article and you'll find the new Rater menu).
You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. ~~~~
RISC and CISC[edit]
You might be right that "computer" would be better than "computing" in RISC and CISC. If so, we should probably move the articles, so it's a good idea to start a discussion about that on one of the article talk pages, or just start a WP:RM. In any case, your edit that changed lowercase to uppercase was not appropriate, so I reverted it. Per MOS:CAPS, we don't do that (we only capitalize where necessary, not to support defining an acronym or other such uses). Dicklyon (talk) 04:13, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I'll also fix where you capitalized "Delay Lines" in this edit, and I'll look for other such things to fix. Dicklyon (talk) 04:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 30[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Drum memory, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DEUCE (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
